LOL. I use wget all the time, along with urpmi and apt-get. All command-
line driven. I could use GUI applications, but I find the CLI faster and
more convenient. Nothing to do with security.

I use it daily. Great for malware download scripting and I can use *any* User-Agent.

Core component of my Multi-AV.

I'm using "Wget 1.12-2504 built on mingw32."

I've had a read here, Graham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget

Please tell me in simple terms, *how* one loads 'wget' onto one's
computer in the first place.

Similarly, I've had a very quick look here .....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Free_software

Can one see that page using 'Wget'?

Originally there were problems on the Windows builds and that's why the version still has
the "2504" build in its versioning.

Did you need many (or any) dependencies fulfilled in order to install it
on Windoze?
